I´ll tell the cutter to burn everything...
This kind of emails you get if you shoot with Lydie Denier. She wanted me to sign over the project to her so she can take it to Avi Lerner and become hersel the producer. I refused to sign her sign over contract. We all could have made profits if Lydie just had worked with me as we promised each other when signing our contract. We promised each other to be partners and setting up this project and do it together. Lydie starring and directing. I wrote the original script together with Jean Bork and I did produce. But for reasons beyond my understanding Lydie during shooting decided she wanted me to leave the project and take it to a bigger production company. I did set up this production, it´s a remake of my German projects, it´s my project I worked for and I was not willing to let someone push me out of my picture. Lydie obviously was convinced I would sign it over to her if Avi Lerner pays me out, so convinced she gave already interviews claiming "A Bouquet for a Kill" is an US production for an US "woman´s channel". But she forgot it´s my copyright, registred at the Register of Copyrights in Washington AND the story already had been filmed in Germany before, produced by me starring Jean and Ingrid. When I refused to sign the project over to her, she had a problem. She could not sign contracts with another company as long as I did not sign over. And I did not.
I do not give away my projects. So she could not take it to Millenium. Inspite of finishing the movie she run away and invented the stalker story. Like her glorious take-over attempt her stalker media story lasted not even for a week before websites and newspapers realized what is going on.

Hotel stay and Travel Insurance

This is a copy of receipts of Lydie Denier´s Hotel stay in February 2007 while shooting A Bouquet for a Kill and a copy of her travel and Health Insurance. I paid both. Producer´s pay Hotels and Travel and Health insurance. Stalkers don´t do that, do they?

What is this fight about?

above: Lydie Denier with Katja Bienert on the set of A Bouquet for a Kill and a copy of Lydie´s flights in may 2007. I paid for the flight. Do stalkers pay their victims flights? Certainly not, Producers pay flights.

What is this fight about ???

Actress Lydie Denier went to Santa Monica court and accused me to be a stalker and she told I have threatened to kill her. What she says is not true. She did NOT tell Santa Monica court and media (see the TMZ and other articles) that she came to Germany in February 2007 to shoot with me "A Bouquet for a Kill" in Berlin. She claims that between February 2007 and May 2007 to have been stalked by me and that I have threatened to kill her. She told US authorities Michael Huck is madly in love with her and wants to be "together" with her.

This is absolutely NOT true. I do NOT want to be together with Denier. In fact between Februray 2007 and May 2007 I did NOT stalk Lydie Denier, we worked together in Berlin shooting "A Bouquet for a Kill". I did produce and as a producer I did finance the movie and also Lydie Denier´s flights to Berlin from Paris and back, five star hotel in Berlin and travel and health insurance for Lydie Denier (I upload here some of the receipts for Lydie´s hotel stay, flight and insurance.) I guess Lydie will have some difficulties to explain why she did work with me, why I did pay her flight, hotel stay, ticket to Berlin Filmmarket, Health and Travel insurance. Do stalkers do that? I guess not. Producers do that. I also have many photos and more than 15 hours of videos showing me and Denier on the set of A Bouquet for a Kill. How does Lydie Denier explain this? I will release a documentary of the shooting in 2010.

In fact we worked together but Lydie Denier wanted to take over the project. She teamed up with German actress Roswitha Schreiner and then Lydie wanted to take the project from me to Avi Lerner of LA based Millenium Films. She asked Avi Lerner to buy me out, I enclose emails Lydie sent me concerning this.

I refused to sign the project over to Lydie and she tried to blackmail me, sending me an email saying she will let the cutter burn the movie if I do not sign her contract. When I refused, Lydie Denier vanished from German set and so did several tapes of the may shooting, and the tapes are what I am after (and German police).
I am NOT interested in Lydie Denier. I do NOT want to be "together" with Denier. I consider her a very uncanny person. She is an excellent actress but I do not want to be in the same room with her alone. All I want is my tapes to start edit my picture.

Lydie Denier did direct. We both have signed a contract. Lydie´s job as a director is to deliver the movie. She did not so far. (in the web if you google you´ll find articles on and interviews with actors, directors, producers who worked with Denier before and also had some interesting experiece with Ms Denier). My job as a producer is to finish the movie I paid for. That´s all I want. I want that Denier does what she promised when signing the contract with me. I did not break that contract and I will not. That is why I need my tapes to edit my picture. I totally agree that a director should get creative freedom and I offered Denier to edit a director´s cut and I will edit a producer´s cut. Instead of finding a solution how to proceed with the project and finish it Lydie Denier run away, went to Santa Monica Court and told them I am not a producer but a stalker.

Shooting a Bouquet for a Kill February 2007

Shooting A Bouquet for a Kill
Lydie continues and says regarding Filmfestival 2007:
He (Michael Huck) approached me and said he was going to try to be with me, saying "You need me and I need you". The Berlin Police investigated at his apartment they found hism place littered with pictures of me. in May 2007, in Berlin, I tried to sit down with him over coffee to get him stop contacting and threatening me. He pulled out a loaded gun and said he has a permit for it. I remained cool and quickly left. i had to hire security to accompany on my travels. Since this time, he has sent me a steady stream of emails which veer from professing his love to deep hate and disturbing threats. In an email dated 5/17/07 (EXHIBIT 2) he said "I will take away your magig. Your game is over. You thought I am an amateuer and I will have no chance to fight you. You are wrong. This is my last offer. I will look at my SMS every full hour today. Sign my contract and we all win, Do not sign and we both will perish."

I, Michael Huck, hereby declare:
I did not "approach" Lydie at Berlin Filmfestival 2007. In fact I had invited her, paid her flight her hotel and her ticket to Filmmarket. We went there together.I introduced her to producers and directors I know. Katja Bienert and I introduced her also to a theater producer whom she offered her Garbo play. We picked her up in the morning at the hotel and drove her back in the evening during Berlin Filmfestival and shooting of A Bouquet for a Kill. During Berlin Filmfestival however, Lydie met without me with Avi Lerner. (Vonny who had picked her up that day with a car was present). Lydie told Avi Lerner about the project she is shooting in Berlin. Later she told me she wants to meet with Avi Lerner in Cannes to raise more money for our movie and to get him in as a co-producer. I offered to fly with her to Cannes but Lydie told me it´ better if she goes alone as she is experienced in dealing with US companies and will achieve more alone. (I did not agree.)
I indeed wrote an email saying: You need me and I need you. but this was later when we were fighting over A Bouquet for a Kill. Actually we really need each other as I do have the tapes of the February and April shootings, Lydie has the tapes of the May shooting, so noone of us can edit the whole picture alone, Besides she is the director, I am the producer. To US authorities she tries to make it look as if this is about mad love but in fact it is about A Bouquet for a Kill.


Lydie continues: The Berlin Police investigated, at his apartment they found his place littered with pictures of me.

I, Michael Huck, declare: The Berlin Police NEVER investigated (on me) the Berlin Police NEVER did search my apartment and the Berlin Police NEVER found my place littered with pictures of Denier. However I have lots of pictures of Denier, especially the ones DP Jörg Peter and I took while SHOOTING A Bouquet for a Kill.
I will upload some of the stills later.


And Lydie continues: In May 2007, in Berlin, I tried to sit down with him over coffee to get him stop contacting and threatening me. He pulled out a loaded gun and said he has a permit for it. I remained cool and quickly left.

It is true that Lydie and I met over cofee in a cafe in Kreuzberg near Roswitha´s aparmtent and also near a propstore where we did rent a prop knife for a scene. To this meeting I brought also along a gun we would use in a scene when the husband will shoot the PI. It was not a real gun but one for blankets. I showed this gun to Lydie, she liked it and wanted to keep it. I told her in Germany you even need a license for prop guns and told her I will keep the gun and take it personally to the loaction. She became very angry and later wrote me an email writing she did many action movies and knows how to handle guns. (I also had told her how to handle the gun)
I did not pull a gun on Lydie and I did NOT threaten to kill her.

Since Lydie had left Berlin in May 2007 I indeed wrote her emails after emails asking her to return the tapes she took from shooting.
The email dated 5/17/2007 Lydie mentions is the Cannae email. She showed Santa Monica Court a falsified version of my original email, a very shortened version to make it look as if it is written by a crazy fan. The whole email shows clearly it´s about the movie. I will write later more and upload Lydie´s manipulated and my original version so you can see the difference.

I also declare: I love and adore Lydie Denier as an actress. I think she was one of the most beautiful and gifted actresses of US tv. She was hilarious in Acapulco and some of her movies are absolutely great ie. Perfect Alibi and Nighttrap. This has nothing to do with our fight over Bouquet. And exaclty this I mean when I wrote:
"It is hard for me to fight someone I love because I never did this before. But no matter how much I love and adore you, I cannot let you stab me in the back."

I adore her as an actress but I certainly will not allow her to stab me in the back by pushing me out of my own picture. Lydie, however, tries to make it look as it´s about love, not about the movie. But this works only as long as she shows only some parts of the emails I mailed to her. As soon as you will read the whole mail it´s always clear what this is really about.

The Stalking Files

The Stalking Files
This is what Lydie Denier told US authorities accusing me to be a stalker. LASD mailed this to me in September 2009, so this is an offical document.

And here what I have to say:

Lydie Denier says: I
I just learned that, on August 11, 2009 (EXHIBIT 1) the man who has been stalking me since 2003 is once again attempting to learn my whereabouts here in Los Angeles. He has posed as a filmproducer in the past and I fear he will return to Los Angeles again to stalk me and do me harm.

I, Michael Huck, hereby declare: Lydie Denier posted on her facenbook site a notice that she will have dinner with the producer of Tarzan. The producer of Tarzan is Max Keller, I met him several years ago in Paris. I wrote Max Keller an email asking him if it is true and he confirmed he will have dinner with Denier. I told him that Lydie Denier and I are fighting about "A Bouquet for a Kill" and I asked him to talk to Lydie. I offered Lydie she can edit a director´s cut of "A Bouquet for a Kill", while I will edit a "producer´s cut". I asked Max to talk to Lydie to make her return my tapes of the May shooting of "A Bouquet for a Kill".

I have NOT posed as a producer, I am a producer. Check my credits. Unhappy End,The 7 Nightmares Girl, Nightmare Follies may never win an academy award but it is a matter of fact I did produce all those projects. It´s also a matter of fact I did produce "A Bouquet for a Kill". I paid Lydie Denier´s flights, hotel and health insurance and many, many other things while shooting "A Bouquet for a Kill".

I am not interested in learn the whereabouts of Ms Denier. I am only interested in the whereabouts of the tapes she took.
I never did stalk Denier and I do not have the intention to stalk Denier and "do her harm".

Lydie Denier continues: In early 2003 the defendant came to Los Angeles from Germany passing himself off as a producer. He sent my agent a script and my agent arranged a breakfast meeting for us. The script contained harsh material and I told my agent to politely pass on the script. Two months later he came back with another script, also containing material of a harsh and sexual nature. Again my agent and I passed. Two months after this I was working in Europe. He was in Los Angeles frantically trying to obtain my location. He called my agents and called the Los Angeles Police Department, local hospitals and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in attempts to file a missing person report to track me down. I returned home to find my voice-mail full of threatening messages from him angrily demanding to know where I was. He said he called everywhere to learn my whereabouts because of his concern. I called him and firmly asked him to stop contacting me. I was forced to change my phonenumber. There was no contact from him untill February 2007 when I was at the Berlin Filmfestival in Germany.

I, Michael Huck, hereby declare:
I watched over the years many episodes of Tarzan and Acapulco H.E.A.T. and some of the movies of Lydie Denier. She looked very beautiful and smart and when we started shooting Unhappy End episodes all around the world, I thought Lydie would be terrific to work with.
In spring 2002 (not 2003) I wrote a letter to Lydie Denier´s agency TAA asking her if she is interested in shooting either a thriller or a horror project. Lydie herself wrote me a letter (not her agent) and we met two shortly later in Los Angeles. I had no scripts with me, only two exposes one entitled "The Other Woman" based on the German Unhappy End episode "Du sollst nicht Ehebrechen" which we had shot in Germany some years ago starring Jean Bork and Ingrid Littmann. It´s a thriller about a jealous wife who learns that her husband has an affair with a younger and more beautiful woman. The wife takes the other woman prisoner and tries to kill her. The other Project entitled "The Black Candles" is about a vampire woman who works as a ceo of a beauty empire selling eternal youth and beauty to rich women, by turning them into vampires.
Lydie was not too exited about the vampire story, but she liked Unhappy End! and we decided I will come back in 2003 with scripts.
In 2003 I returned as promised with two scripts, both scripts are registered at the Register of Copyrights in Washington and none of the scripts contains material of a "harsh and sexual nature". The Black Candles is a Hammer-Buffy style vampire story with two very strong female leads and there are absolutely no nude or sex scenes in the script. The other script "The Other Woman" (later re-titled "A Bouquet for a Kill" contained of course violence but no scenes involving something of "sexual or harsh nature". This is very easy to prove as we have shot this script with Lydie Denier starring AND directing and I have edited a 30 minute version with the tapes I have from the February and April shootings. Lydie is IN THAT !!! I will upload stills from the shooting. So let me make this clear:

Lydie Denier did NOT pass on that script. In fact she signed a contract with me to shoot and star in the picture and WE SHOT THIS STORY IN 2007 IN BERLIN !

But I´m too fast. After Lydie and I have signed a letter of intent to shoot "Unhappy End! - The Other Woman" I did fly back to Germany to set up production. Lydie and I stayed in touch by phone a lot discussing script and cast and if to shoot in Germany or in the US and things like that. We were talking in Germany and Los Angeles to other actresses for the Mrs. Tanner part and when I came back next time to Los Angeles to meet with Lydie and other actresses Lydie had been disappeared. She was not at her home, her agent Adele did not know where she was, her personal manager obviously knew but did not tell me. I feared Lydie had an accident and contacted LASD and producers she worked with but noone really knew. I really was concerned. After two weeks Lydie called from Romania telling me she got a part in a movie and had to fly to Romania and from there she could not reach me for weeks to tell me that she is NOT in LA. Lydie did not tell me to stop contacting me in fact she called me in Los Angeles later to tell me that she is in France now and when I flew back to Germany, I immediately did fly some days later to Paris and met Lydie at the Georges V. to discuss how to proceed.
Lydie went back to Los Angeles but later came to France for longer and we met again in Paris to discuss our project. So it is absolutely not true that we had no contact till february 2007. In fact we met several times in Paris and phoned many times.

In late 2006 I finally asked Lydie if she wants to come to Berlin Filmfestival in 2007 to attent the festival and to shoot a short version of "A Bouquet for a Kill". I wanted to shoot a 20-30 minute version we could then show to networks and distributors to raise more money. Lydie agreed this is a good idea and I mailed her a short version of my 90 minute script, still entitled "The Other Woman". Lydie read it and re-wrote it. She changed mainly two things: First she invented a new ending which I loved. The second change was, she made it faster. In my version, like in the German versions, Mrs Tanner comes to Sarah´s place and the two women sit down over coffee, and Mrs. Tanner begs Sarah to stay away from her husband. This goes for about half the script, then Mrs Tanner beats Sarah up, ties her up and prepares to kill her. Lydie changed this: In Lydie´s re-write Mrs Tanner rings the door bell, Sarah (played by Lydie) opens the door and moments later, Mrs Tanner beats her up, ties her up, gags her and Sarah is at her mercy right from the start. This is of course more suspenseful (we used the same idea years before in the Katja Bienert story "Die Rivalin" by the way). Anyway as anyone knows how much I love the leading ladies to be tied up and gagged you can imagine I liked this rewrite a lot and Lydie and I started to look for an actress to play Mrs Tanner. We already had contacted two very wellknown actresses in Hollywood for the 90 minute version before, but as we were about to shoot in Germany now I suggested to Lydie some of the actresses I have already worked with in Berlin. Lydie liked Roswitha Schreiner best and Roswitha agreed to play the part in the short version. Roswitha was familar with the Unhappy End! series as she had already played in the episode "Der Tag vor der Hochzeit".

The Trouble with Lydie

The Trouble with Lydie
In August 2009 actress Lydie Denier went to Santa Monica Court and US authorities and claimed she is stalked by a crazy German fan - named Michael Huck - who has threatened to kill her and had pulled a gun on her. She pleaded for help and told she fears Michael Huck will track her down at LA Filmfestival in November "to do her harm."

I AM Michael Huck and I hereby declare this is NOT true.
I hereby declare: I am NOT a stalker and I NEVER threatened to kill Lydie Denier.
I hereby declare: Lydie Denier did fool Santa Monica court telling lies and showing them wrong evidence.

I am a producer who worked with Lydie Denier in 2007 in Berlin shooting a thriller entitled "A Bouquet for a Kill". Lydie Denier did star and direct -I did produce. Jörg Peter and Vonny Kesisoglu did co-produce.
We shot from February 2007 till May 2007 in Berlin with Denier. I paid Lydie´s flights from Paris, I paid Lydie´s stay in a Berlin 5 star hotel, I paid for the shooting and also for the tickets to Berlin Filmfestival Filmmarket where I went together with Denier.

While shooting Lydie Denier contacted US producer Avi Lerner from LA based Millenium Films. She had worked several times before with him and now she asked him to buy me out of my own project, so she could take over. When I refused, Denier threatened to let the cutter burn the movie. The cutter did not but Denier took several of the original tapes from shooting (she and / or some of ther German friends took the may shooting tapes, I have the tapes of February and April shooting.) I sent German police after Denier.
Denier then started to claim that I am not a producer but a crazy stalker who is mad and wants to kill her. She even claimed she is the producer of the picture and that it is HER script ! In fact, "A Bouquet for a Kill" is a R E M A K E of the Unhappy End! episode 2 "Du sollst nicht Ehebrechen" and episode 19 "Die Hexe". You just have to watch the German Unhappy End! episodes and you will see it´s the same story. And we shot "Du sollst nicht Ehebrechen" years before I met first with Denier!

Denier now tries to ruin my reputation and make it difficult for me to travel in the US telling Santa Monica Court, Immigration and other US auhtorities I am a madman, running around with a loaded gun to try to kill poor Lydie.

This blog is to tell what really happened.
I will upload photos from shooting showing me and Lydie Denier together on the set of "A Bouquet for a Kill", the court papers, emails Lydie sent to me and I to her.
I am just editing a documentary video entitled "Stalking Lydie" which will be shown and released in 2010.

I did not want to go public. I only want my tapes so I can start editing the movie I paid for and I did produce. The last months I again and again wrote emails to Lydie asking her to return me my tapes.I offered her to edit a producer´s cut allowing her at the same time to edit her own director´s cut.

It was Lydie Denier who went public. Not only Santa Monica court. She also informed TMZ giving interviews and around the world I found my name in articles on Denier and the articles claim I am a stalker. I contacted newspapers and websites and most uploaded my version.

Lydie Denier has a website: www.lydiedenier.com and on her website she as a link to the TMZ article claiming Michael Huck is a stalker.
So Lydie went public NOT telling the truth but trying to ruin my reputation. That is why I upload this blog.

I hereby declare: I will tell here the truth and I will upload the evidence I have to show you that I am telling the truth.

Ahoi,
Michael Huck
